Subject: btrfs scrub will not start nor cancel howto
Date: Sun, 4 May 2014 00:54:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140504075407.GM9061@merlins.org> (raw)

This has been asked a few times, so I ended up writing a blog entry on
it
http://marc.merlins.org/perso/btrfs/post_2014-04-26_Btrfs-Tips_-Cancel-A-Btrfs-Scrub-That-Is-Already-Stopped.html
and in the end pasted all of it in the main wiki
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Problem_FAQ#btrfs_scrub_will_not_start_nor_cancel

Of course, this is really a stopgap until the cancel tool can realize
that the scrub isn't really running anymore, and update the state file
on its own.
